Hello Blog Followers!
Jada is changing so much everyday! It's amazing how determined she is! She is a very happy baby, smiling at everyone! We had a wonderful Valentines day, we went out to lunch and took some cute pictures of her in her 2 outfits.

Jada has started eating food! It is soooo fun feeding her. She eats (using the term loosely) cereal and bananas so far.

Great Auntie Paula has been trying to come visit on a weekly basis, but with the crazy Colorado weather it ends up being more like every other week or once a month. Jada and I really enjoy her company!

Al and I are busy trying to get the house on the market. We bought all new SS Kitchen appliances today, its stinks buying stuff like that for other people but hopefully the house sells fast. GG and Gpa Bob are planning a trip to see us next weekend, hope the weather cooperates. Maybe Funcle Ryan will stop by?
Jada and I are planning a trip to Kearney soon....

January

We have been very busy trying to get the house ready to put on the market. We moved most of our storage stuff to Kearney, painted in and out, remodeled 2 bathrooms and only have a couple minor things to do before the deep cleaning begins! Jada and I spent a week in Kearney and looked at 8 houses....nothing seemed quite right though. We had so much fun playing with friends and family! The aunts loved giving her baths and enjoyed reading and playing with her. Grandma O was glad they had school so she could play too! GG got out Al's old bib but Jada's not quite sure she wants be a cowgirl :)

We were very sad to leave...weep....weep

Jada is growing so fast! She started rolling over a couple weeks ago and is now trying really hard to crawl! Fingers crossed I don't have to baby proof this house :) She is discovering new things everyday. She likes to play with daddy's beard and loves to pet Dubs and Angel.

I added a video at the bottom, try to enjoy it even though it's sideways!

Merry Christmas

We finished our Christmas shopping just in time to leave a day early to beat the storm that was headed to Kearney. Al managed to hit the outdoor mall with us one day and he carried Jada in her front carrier the whole time. Sooo cute!

The drive to Kearney was cramped but Jada did surprisingly well only waking up to eat in North Platte, I was worried about how our first night at Grandpa and Grandmas would go but she slept the whole night.

We had a wonderful Christmas! Jada got to meet her Great Great Grandma Stella, Grandpa Bob and lots of other family members. Unfortunately due to the bad weather she was unable to meet her family members from Blair :( hopefully we can all get together soon though.


Aunt Tiffy flew in late and we had a late Christmas with her where she wore these silly pink jammies! If Jada is scared of bunnies we will know why! Ha Ha! It was so nice to get to see everyone.

Not only did Grandma O. get to give Jada her a good night bottle she even got to have Jada spend the night for the first time! Grandpa, Grandma, Sarah, Anne, Jada, Dublin and Cassie (my parents dog) all shared a room that night (should have got a pic of that). It was hard for me to leave but it was nice to have a night on the town and see most of my friends.



Well 2009 was a fabulous year! Al, myself, Jada, Angel, Dubs and Tina (our frog) all hope to be Kearney soon!

Well we are busy doing our last minute shopping and are starting to pack for our first trip home with Jada. With gifts, Dubs and Jada our car will be full!

Tomorrow Jada will be 11 weeks old! WOW! She is smiling and making all sorts of cute noises. She is also focusing on her toys and enjoys looking at pictures in her books. She is starting to have a sleep schedule, going to bed at about 7 and waking up somewhere between 5:45 and 7! I am pretty proud of her :)

We are all looking forward to seeing most of you while we are in Kearney next week!

We have been pretty busy since our last blog. GG (Grandma Georgia) came out the second weekend of November, Grandpa B couldn't make it because of a cold. We just lounged around the house and GG gave Jada tons of snuggles and even got to give her a goodnight bottle :) So cute!

Jada has been doing lots of tummy time working on her neck muscles. Shes getting pretty good!

Thanksgiving was wonderful! My whole fam made it out to Denver! Everyone arrived on Wed. and stayed until Sunday. We played tons of games, ate lots of food and watched to much of football. We all have so much to be thankful for this year! Anyone who has a facebook account can see Tiff posted some cute pics of the weekend also. (apparently Grandma O was a little camera shy, we will have to take extra pics of her over Christmas!)

Since Thanksgiving we have started working on Jada's sleep schedule and moved her into her own room. It's a work in progress but she is doing pretty well. Its been hard on Al having Jada and I both crying it out. :) Poor Al!

We can't wait to go home for Christmas and see everyone! It will be here before we know it:)

Hi Jada lovers!

Jada wore this black shirt with a glow in the dark ghost on it for Halloween. No trick or treating for us this year but we are looking forward to next year. Zach and Brooke brought Al and I a sushi treat though...mmmm!

Great Aunt Paula stopped by on Thursday, she loved on Jada and brought me a yummy calzone! Funcle (fun uncle) Ryan and his girlfriend came to visit on Friday. I think I speak for everyone when I say I am interested in seeing how much trouble they will get in together :) Stacy and her mom dropped by yesterday and brought Jada some great clothes! Grandma and Grandpa Byrn will be here this weekend. Jada is such a loved baby we truly are blessed to have such great friends and family!

We had a doctors appointment this morning and Jada weighs 9 1/2 lbs already! She had her first shot :( Al went with us and held her arms down then I swooped in and gave her kisses! I am such a good mom!

Hello all! I apologize for not blogging more often but as most of you know life with a newborn is kinda crazy! :) We've been very busy since our last blog. It was 84 degrees the other day and we went on our first walk. We have taken several baths, I personally love bath time and look forward to big girl baths in the tub. Great Grandpa Lee and Great Grandma Marlene came to visit and Jada loves to be held by her Great Gma! Julie has been visiting since Tuesday and we are going to get Jada's Halloween outfit today.
